摘要

母乳喂养和断奶是婴儿生长发育的关键阶段,为了解古代人群的早期生活状况和营养状况提供了宝贵的见解。这些做法极大地影响了人口健康、生育率,进而影响了社会经济的稳定和发展。近年来,生物考古研究越来越广泛地关注古代人群的母乳喂养和断奶做法。然而,青藏高原东部的汉晋时期,人们对这种做法的关注有限。本研究调查了青海西宁陶家寨墓园古代居民的饮食结构和哺乳-断奶模式,时间可追溯到汉晋时期(约公元206-352年)。对8个骨骼样本和98个牙本质序列样本进行了稳定同位素分析。结果表明,洮家寨人群的饮食结构以C3和C4植物混合为主,以C3植物为主,并补充不同数量的动物蛋白。大多数居民断奶年龄在2.6 ~ 3.5岁之间,男性普遍比女性晚断奶。在摄食策略方面,断奶期间雄性对动物性蛋白和C4类食物的摄取量略高于雌性,断奶后雄性对动物性蛋白和c3类食物的摄取量明显高于雌性。当结合自给经济、历史背景、随葬物品和古病理学进行解释时,这些发现还揭示了男性在获取饮食资源、日常生活模式和社会等级方面的不平等现象的加剧。

Breastfeeding, weaning, and dietary patterns in the east Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China during Han and Jin Periods by stable isotope analysis
Breastfeeding and weaning represent critical phases in infant growth and development, offering valuable insights into early life conditions and the nutritional status of ancient populations. These practices significantly influenced population health, fertility rates, and, by extension, the stability and development of social economies. In recent years, bioarchaeological research has increasingly focused extensively on breastfeeding and weaning practices in ancient populations. However, limited attention has been paid to such practices during Han and Jin periods in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This study investigates the dietary structure and breastfeeding-weaning patterns of the ancient inhabitants of the Taojiazhai Cemetery in Xining, Qinghai, dating to Han and Jin periods (approximately 206–352 CE). Stable isotope analysis was conducted on 8 skeletal samples and 98 sequential dentin samples. The results indicate that the Taojiazhai population’s diet consisted of a mixture of C3 and C4 plants, with a predominant reliance on C3 plants, supplemented by varying amounts of animal protein. Most residents were weaned between 2.6 and 3.5 years of age, with males generally weaned later than females. In terms of feeding strategies, males consumed slightly more animal protein and C4 foods than females during the weaning period, and after weaning, showed a dietary pattern featuring greater intake of animal protein and C3-based foods. When interpreted in conjunction with the subsistence economy, historical background, funerary objects, and paleopathology, these findings also shed light on the rise of male-biased inequality in access to dietary resources, patterns of daily life, and social hierarchy.
